Florida Statute subsection 775.082 states Capital Felony- Death or life imprisonment with no chance of parole.

An example of this would be...

Sexual battery (as defined in s. 794.011(1)(h), F.S.) of a person under the age of 12 by another person who is 18 or older is a capital felony.

Although, due to case law decisions the offender is not subject to the death penalty.
